Archives for the electric Witch

Every day for the next 12 days a different Dirty Knobs album will be made available for FREE. From the 8+ hour goliath Field Recordings from the Edge of Hell to the quantum-scale Higgs Boson and more, you can experience all of the time-bending, ear-obliterating gloom for free. Grab them for yourself or gift them to a friend (or pay what you want if you’d like…everything goes directly into making more music.)

AS AN ADDED BONUS, all three albums from The Electric Witch are free right now and will remain so for all 12 days. Enjoy the dream-synth Nintendo nostalgia of NEScapism, the synth-noir of Assassin and the bleak-pop of …So We Burn right now for free. (And again, we recommend sending them as a gift! THEY don’t need to know they’re free, right?) And follow TEW on FB, TW, TB and the blog as well for news on the next album, out soon?

Thank you for making this past year remarkable. More is on the way, thanks entirely to your support. Thank you.

NEScapism is a love-letter to the video games I grew up with. The games whose music meant just as much to me, if not more, as the escapism they provided my isolated imagination. These are the songs that I would let play over and over, ignoring whatever might have been happening on-screen. Letting them loop and spiral outward. I’ve tried to capture that feeling on this album, adding my own inner echos.

Full album download comes with 3 variant album covers.
